Crochet Art in Harlem
Crochet Art in Harlem
This is kind of, sort of a post for NeedleworkMonday hosted by @crosheille
Why Kind of, sort off?i
Well I am sure the idea behind this tag is for people to post needlework that they have done, but this was some crochet art I came across when walking through Harlem one morning so decided it may be my one chance to enter this tag/challenge
Its quite a big piece of crocheted art on the fence around a park

The funny thing is I saw this mentioned on the NYC arts in the park website and decided to go check it out but I for some reason thought it was at a totally different location and walked about 20 blocks from the train station to where I thought it was and could not find it, when I checked again I realized it was only about 3 blocks from the train station so I went and got these shots the next day.

Now this last shot is on another corner of the fence in the same area and is not needlework but I thought I would include it with this post, its a bit hard to read from this shot but it says Eat Me which is the title of the piece and is by Capucine Bourcart,
It is made up of photo-printed aluminum square tiles and is to inspire people to make healthy food choices

The crocheted flowers are beautiful. The artist found a creative way to make a fence her canvas.
Yes I do love the creativity of this piece, I would love to find more art like this

Oh absolutely this qualifies as a #NeedleWorkMonday post! 😃. As long as it’s needlework related, it doesn’t have to be your own works! I appreciate seeing beautiful bright colored art like this! These are such beautiful pieces and I know it was time consuming. This is partly why I appreciate this form of art so much!
Thank you for taking the time to capture these images and sharing them with the community today! We welcome your lovely photos of needlework anytime ;D
Phew that is a relief :) and now that I know this is OK, I do have shots of another area of needlework art that I may share some time :)

Yay that would be awesome!! 👌🏽
Cool I edited the other ones last night to be ready

Ha, ha your "one chance to enter this tag/challenge" very interesting nice art work!
LOL I may have been a bit cheeky using that tag when the work was not mine LOL
What a lovely post for Needlework Monday, I'm sure all the crafty ladies will appreciate these, real works of art!
I t was so cool to see and even got me extra steps heading in totally the wrong direction the first time LOL
LOL! Oh well that was a good mistake then!
Yes indeed 👍😎👍
It is so lovely to be able to take a stroll and see such wonderful colours! It must have taken them some time to crochet such big pieces. Thank you for sharing this with us @tattoodjay! Welcome to #NeedleWorkMonday!!

I would love to know how long this project took, its quite a cool piece of art for sure,
Very creative, and what a great way to dress up a rather plain landscape.
Ohh yes that area is plain and somewhat run down in places so this really brightens up the area
That's cool and looks like it took a lot of time and dedication to do...

It was so cool to see, I couldn't find out online how long it took to do but I do imagine it was a lot of work
